"OK, we’re going to be honest here. Disposable gloves are not the most fashion-forward accessory we can think of. At the same time, there’s something inherently awesome about black gloves.

As evidence, we offer 1st Choice Black Nitrile Exam Gloves. Police officers, security personnel, tattoo artists, transit workers, and countless others know the truth. Nothing says professional, authoritative, and—well, cool—like black disposable gloves.

They also say “safety”: Top-notch barrier protection from bloodborne pathogens and environmental contaminants for those who come in regular contact with the public. The excellent puncture resistance of nitrile, which is three times stronger than comparable latex or vinyl gloves. Protection against most common and many specialty chemicals. Nitrile also offers a tremendous level of comfort. By nature highly elastic, once it reaches body temperature, the gloves conform to your hand for a perfect fit every time.

That means not only will users enjoy excellent dexterity, but they also won’t have issues with hand fatigue from ill-fitting gloves. Textured fingertips and a micro-roughened surface ensure a dependable grip, even when wet.

The gloves are also powder-free, which eliminates worries about powder inhibiting healing of wounds, or residue that can impair a clean transfer of ink. Because they are chlorinated, they still glide on easily. In addition to public safety, security, and tattoo parlor uses, 1st Choice Black Nitrile gloves are popular in medical, dental, laboratory, biotech, veterinary, and home healthcare applications. Forget orange. The new black is, and always will be … black.
